QMX Feature Request - field “tune” mode
The SWR metering and protection are features that really make the QMX a field capable radio. However, from several outings now I’m finding that I would like a front panel means to activate a reduced

Re: Magical smoke out of QDX, two leftmost BS170 very hot
Volker,
Remove the BS170s.
Test for 5 volts at the gate pads when in transmit. 0 volts receive.
If good replace BS170s.
Maybe consider a diode across L14, could protect against one failure mode.

Re: #qmx high band harmonics

Hi Eric
I don't think 'scope FFTs are anywhere near good enough for HF transmitter
harmonic testing, and get worse as the frequency goes up. The job needs a
real spectrum analyzer. The TinySA is very

High-band QMX rev2 (2024), 9V version, Firmware 017.? Having fun learning about this radio. LPF cutoffs are good, though LPFs 1 and 2 show stopbands a little high, about –30dB.? I get 4W out on

Re: QRPp
Correct! In my case I smoked out two of the BS170 and ended up with one heathy BS170. QDX is ?still alive and kicking with that one!:)
3x BS170 is absolutely a better option to distribute output

Re: Magical smoke out of QDX, two leftmost BS170 very hot
Ah, yes. more data. This happened on 40m, 7074 KHz. I was transmitting sucessfully right before, couple of POTA QSOs, tuned antenna to SWR 1,2:1 (with NanoVNA)

Hello,
'fraid my QDX let out the magic smoke today.
I had one of these rare moments when it would not transmit after changing band / frequency. I unplugged from both PC and power, plugged pwer back

Re: QRPp
Just to make sure I understand the theory...? 3x BS-170's @ 5v would still result in the same QRPp power out as Barb's 1x BS-170 @ 5v?
Thanks

Re: Brainstorm question: How to "view" QDX LED status remotely?
Hi Donald.? Quite true about the voltage acquisition timing issues.? One solution is to get the voltage before the limiting resistor for the LED.? Then just buffer (if necessary) and low pass the

Thanks, but now the PC no longer opens the Progrock programming page,
probably because the pic has broken down and is therefore no longer
usable.

Watch the update rate on the meter, as well as the ability to disable the auto range.? With a flashing/pulsing LED the auto ranging might get stuck trying to chase the varying signal.

Re: Did I fry my QMX SMPS or is it likely worse?
#qmx
Sorry to hear that it’s dead.
No consolation, but it could be worse. I saw an ad a few weeks ago here in UK, for a week old Yaesu FTDX10 that the owner had given 55 Volts… Spares or repairs!

Thanks for the help everyone. It was a fun build so when budget loosens up a bit I'll give it another go. Maybe by then the QMS will be out.

Would Q204 be as sensitive to ESD? Being connected to an external jack (PTT) isn't it sort of hanging out there like an antenna?

Hi Brad.
I'm by no means an expert in this, but If you're reading single digits of resistance across the 2 rails on the main board to ground with the smps boards removed, then yes, your QMX has
